What new songs should you be listening to? Well here are this week's suggestions:
So, Nicole and her dolls (mainly Nicole) released their video for their awful cover of Slumdog Millionaire's "Jai Ho". As I said, this version of the Oscar-winning song is awful and unnecesary. I don't understand why the Pussycat Dolls would do ruin this song. Does Nicole not realize that she's pronouncing "Jai Ho" incorrectly even though A. R. Rahman says it right before her? Why would A. R. Rahman allow them to butcher his song?
That said, the video is pretty good. The Dolls do what they do best, dancing their asses off. The video overall is good. The song also does grow on you unfortunately, though it's mainly due to the original song's brilliance. Song: D-. Video: C+/B-. Original Song: A.
Anyways, here's the video.
Two Bad Boy singles leaked today from two artists on their sophomore albums.
The first is Day26's "Imma Put It On Her" featuring Yung Joc & Diddy. It's pretty catchy. It's definitely got that club knock that the boys were looking for. While, I'm not the biggest fan of the band (Danity Kane forever! lol), they stuff they're been releasing is pretty cool. I liked their original first single ("Stadium Music") better, but this is pretty good. Hopefully they'll get more airplay with this one. Their album Forever in a Day will be released on April 14.

The second is "Me & U" singer Cassie, with her new single "Must Be Love" featuring maybe-boyfriend Diddy (again). It's OK. Cassie isn't coming on as strong. "Me & U" was my jam and "Long Way 2 Go" was very good too. Then she released "Is It You?" off of Step Up 2 as a kind of single & I loved it. It was so good. But then she came with "Official Girl" and I wasn't so sure. I eventually grew to like it, but it took too long. "Must Be Love" is pretty good, better in fact than "Official Girl", but still, she needs to bring some better material to the table. Her album will be released sometime in spring 2009.

Hey everyone! Britney Spears' new video for "If You Seek Amy" has been released and it is AMAZING! Besides the song being great, the video is amazing. THe concept is cool and the dancing sequences are cool. This is right on par with everything she's been releasing. Keep up the good work Brit! Overall: A

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS!
Se7en really pulls this one off. The video is really cool, especially compared to the other ones that have been released lately. It is interesting and the song is bumpin'. I love this song. And Lil' Kim is pretty good too. She doesn't seem to be as plastica as she has in the past. Overall: B/B+
This song is definitely growing on me. I never want to play it purposefully, but whenever it comes on I like it. It's love/not-love. The video is pretty cool. It's got that Dreamgirls/60s vibe. Somewhat creative, though not innovative. I respect LeToya and hope she comes out with some better stuff, though this is pretty good as it is. Overall: B-
I LOVE Keri Hilson! "Turnin' Me On" aside (what was she thinking?), she's put out some fantastic music. This girl can definitely sing. Anyways, "Make Love" is great and so is the video. Keri looks beautiful and the cinematography is great. Kanye is cool in this video too for what he is. The video is only a teaser, but still really great! Overall: B+/A-
There's one more video after the jump!
Pitbull - Calle Ocho
Pitbull just released the video for his next single "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)". It follows along with his previous single "Krazy" with his new dance style. It's pretty good, but being a Pitbull fan, I might be biased. The video is pretty much standard fare for Pitbull. It's him with some girls dancing in front of a green screen. Still pretty good though. Check it out! Song: B+/A-. Video: C+

VIDEOS!!!
"Blame It" by Jamie Foxx feat. T-Pain
Question: Why are Jake Gyllenhall, Forest Whitaker, Ron Howard, and Smauel L Jackson in this video? They don't do anything and they are barely in it.
"Daydreamin'" by DJ Drama feat. Akon, Snoop Dogg, & T.I.
